Yet again, NBA record breaking is becoming standard for many Spanish basketball players who come to the NBA. Yesterday, Rudy Fernandez and Jose Calderon broke NBA records. Calderon almost broke the record of most consecutive free throws in December however missed one in the determing game back in 2008. However, he still finishes the season as the best free throw shooter in the history of the NBA in a season with a percentage of 98%.
With the marks of top Spanish National teams and figures such as Rafael Nadal who just won the Wimbledon after a 44 year drought for Spanish Players and the Spanish Soccer team who also won the Euro2008 after not winning in the 40s. The national teams for Spain both women and men are hoping to follow in those footsteps in Pekin during the Olympic Summer Basketball Games!
